The NBA app on the Apple TV has been updated adding support for the upcoming basketball season, which has recently started. The app touts a new icon and lets you view standings across the league, stream games with your League Pass subscription and view highlights. Users can also browse NBA-related media from iTunes from within the app If they wish too. Furthermore, the app will be automatically updated without the need to update your entire Apple TV.

Are any of you basketball-loving Apple TV owners excited about the updated app?
